WHO WE ARE
Sabi Sabi has always endeavoured to focus its community involvement on projects that benefit and involve staff, their families and respective communities. To the west Sabi Sabi borders Ximungwe district of the Bushbuckridge municipality (encompassing the rural Shangaan villages of Huntington, Lillydale and Justicia) where many of our staff live. Lodge staff employed by Sabi Sabi support a high number of dependents in these communities, representing tangible benefits that extend beyond the boundaries of our protected area. The Sabi Sabi Foundation aims to provide additional support for these communities by growing custodians of our natural heritage in general through education, employment and conservation.

Current Projects
The Sabi Sabi Foundation represents four decades of defining and refining this model of successfully
integrating these cornerstones (ecotourism, conservation and community) and putting them into
practice. Our historical involvement has spanned initiatives ranging from establishing the Lillydale
education centre through to Teach the Teachers. The Sabi Sabi Foundation strives to be able to
contribute to solving these challenges and to be part of conservation of both community, culture
and nature for all future generations.
The Sabi Sabi Foundation currently supports the following ongoing projects:

Water Supply Project
It is apparent that the supply of potable water is an essential need in many of our neighbouring
communities. Unfortunately, the supply of water is a major challenge given the historical
deficiencies in architecture and developmental neglect within the community areas surrounding the
reserve. Water supply remains a stark challenge and again is brought to light given the overriding
importance of strict hand-washing and hygiene requirements in the current pandemic.
Fortunately, a solution to this quandary exists – and the innovative technology has been pioneered and tested by a remarkable not-for-profit company Innovation: Africa.
